Amphibians are particularly vulnerable to environmental changes due to several factors: their permeable skin readily absorbs substances from the environment (water and air), they often rely on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats during their life cycle, and many have specific requirements for reproduction and development. These characteristics make them highly susceptible to changes in water quality, habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change, serving as important bioindicators.
